The Position Patrick Street Clinic is a privately owned and operated group practice requiring the services of a full time GP (part time will be considered) to help meet the demand.
The practice has a strong training focus, with all of its GPs on the Vocational Register, and welcomes enquiries from vocationally recognised GPs who have an interest in providing support to students and registrars.
The practice is particularly interested in an applicant with the intention for a long-term commitment and view to joining the equity partnership.
Opening hours are from 8.00 am - 5.30 pm Monday to Friday and alternate weekend on-call clinics from 9.00 am - 12.00 pm.
